This new bag caught our attention as a highly customize yet simple piece of travel essential. You can change the lay out to compartmentalize the interior. For example, you can make room for your camera and lenses and easily access them through the front zipper. You also have the option to keep it simple without the compartments and use the bag as a carry-on. 48Hr Classic comes with a padded laptop compartment and accessories that can turn it into a backpack very easily. It can also expand up to 70% of its original size. The design is inspired by classic leather messenger bags. Handcrafted premium leather is complemented by metal zippers and accessories. Today's multi-function bags are not usually easy on the eyes. This one is a nice exception.You can grab one now for £149 on Kickstarter. You have 26 days to purchase but the price is for early birds. Regular price is £159 if you are late. Expected delivery is April 2016. This Kickstarter project already met its funding goal of £12,000.

A new Kickstarter campaign introduced, G-RO, a new carry on with oversize wheels. It is claimed that larger wheels makes it easier to move around with your carry on. It also lowers the center of gravity which in turn makes the carry on feel lighter. In addition to the unusual size of the wheels, this carry-on comes with a number of convenient features: built-in tablet stand, impact-resistant polymer panels, waterproof bottom, optional electronic module to charge your mobile devices several time, charging station with two USB ports.Campaign goal was $125,000. As of now, a total of 2,319 backers pledged $823,662 making this a great success. This shows the need for conveniently designed carry-ons.The price for this big wheels is $199 and the optional electronic module will cost you an additional $99. If you are interested, you still have 52 days before the campaign ends.

Dragging your luggage around is not for you? Now, you can ride your suitcase. A new product that add as motor to a carry-on suitcase looks like a giant scooter. You can sit on it and scoot away. You would think the motor takes up too much space on a carry-on but that is not entirely true- this one only takes about 5% of the total volume. That means you still have plenty of room to pack your stuff. It also comes with two USB chargers. This appears to be a great product if you don't want to drag your luggage around. Only downside will be the looks you will be getting from curious bystanders. I wonder if you can ride this up and down the aisle during long flights.

What is one of the most annoying things that can happen to you at an airport terminal? Realizing that your smart phone is running out of battery. The struggle is something we all experienced at some point in our lives. Road warriors are more familiar with this issue than infrequent travellers. The agony associated with finding a power outlet, pulling out your charger, and waiting by your smart phone as it charges is real for many people. A new Kickstarter campaign is launched to introduce a suitcase with a built-in wireless charger. Your phone is running out of juice at an airport? Just place it on top of your suitcase. It is as simple as that. Creators of this product call it VoltVoyage. Funding deadline is September 17, 2015. Over 20 backers pledged over $15,000 fo sar. Project funding goal is set to $36,000. That means, if the project does not reach the funding goal by the deadline, it will most likely not materialize. However, it appears this project may be a winner. Wireless charging capability sounds like winner for frequent travellers.

A new kickstarter campaign introduced a regular size suitcase with built-in shelves that makes everything more visible, accessible, and organized. The product is called ShelfPack and it has over 100 backers. With 15 days left until the end of this kickstarter campaign, the project is already fully funded. Original funding goal was $20,000. Current funding is exceeding $30,000. What do we think about this product? Although it appears the shelves might take some valuable space that you might otherwise use for personal items, it can be a good idea for travellers with convenience in mind. If I can just open my suitcase, lift the shelves up, and be done with it, why would I want to unpack my luggage, organize everything into a hotel drawer only to pack them back again in a few days? It sure sounds convenient.
